TORONTO, Nov. 23, 2012 /CNW/ - Invesco today announced estimated 2012
annual distributions for the PowerShares exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
listed on Toronto Stock Exchange. Unitholders of record on December 28,
2012 will receive these distributions, which will generally consist of
capital gains only. The distributions will be reinvested and the
resulting units immediately consolidated, so that the number of units
held by each investor will not change. Investors holding their units
outside registered plans will have taxable amounts to report and an
increase in the adjusted cost base of their investment.

Note that these figures are estimates only, as of November 16, 2012, and
are subject to change prior to the December 15, 2012 taxation year-end
of the ETFs. These estimates are for annual amounts only and do not
include estimates of ongoing monthly or quarterly cash distributions.

Final year-end distribution amounts, as well as the ongoing monthly and
quarterly cash distribution amounts, will be announced on or about
December 17, 2012. The tax characteristics for all distributions
declared in 2012 will be reported before the end of February 2013.

Most PowerShares ETFs seek to replicate, before fees and expenses, the
performance of an applicable Index and are not actively managed. This
means that the Sub-advisor will not attempt to take defensive positions
in declining markets but rather continue to provide exposure to the
securities in the Index regardless of whether the financial condition
of one or more issuers of securities in the Index deteriorates. In
contrast, if a PowerShares ETF is actively managed, then the
Sub-advisor has discretion to adjust that PowerShares ETF's holdings in
accordance with the ETF's investment objectives and strategies.
